Police sources admitted there was some “initial ineptness” in handling the case soon after the kidnapping.

Questions Over Police Lapses

Several serious questions are being raised by locals and sources:

  • How did a body get dumped just 8–10 meters from NH-39 without being noticed by a police patrol?
  • Why was the victim not traced despite being within a 4-km radius of the municipal area?
  • Was there a lack of coordination between the Town Police Station (where the kidnapping occurred) and the Sadar Police Station (where the body was found)?

These concerns have intensified public anger.
